QUOTE(TimT @ Mar 22 2003, 06:31 AM) Is 6:29 the stock 914 final drive? the 901 box in my 911 has a 7:31 final drive 914s only came with the 7:31 AFAIK. The 6:29 is the only alternate R&P that I am familiar with for the 901 box. It provides almost 10% increase in rpm at the same speed. That plus shorter tires helps make the stock gears more usable on a racetrack with a stock powerplant. The spread is still just as wide, but the rpms are higher. For SCCA Improved Touring it's the only legal way to get more usable torque to the ground. Tim, are you planning to run at the PCA race at LRP this spring? BTW, I was just teasing in the last post. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Sorry for hijacking the AX thread. Back to the topic. In an AX car the 6:29 might help, not sure. It would mean you have to shift into second as soon as the car is rollling, and shift up to third for any straight section. Second might become just right for the real tight stuff, too. |
